EPHA Environment Network has held a one day seminar on "Media Advocacy: Improving the coverage of environment and health issues in the media".

The main purposes of the workshop were:
To develop a better understanding of the reporting of news stories and the needs and constraints of different media.
To learn from participants how the EEN secretariat could better support its members in media advocacy.
To identify partnerships for media activities related to the EU political agenda.

The speakers who shared their expertise were from several prestigious media (BBC radio, European Voice).

Working actively with the media can help NGOs present and promote their work at a national and international level, thus helping awareness raising regarding their work for protecting children’s environment and health.
